Production

Near the release of Kingsman: The Secret Service, Mark Millar and Matthew Vaughn stated that a sequel would be possible if the first film was to perform well at the box office, and Vaughn expressed interest in directing the sequel. [5][6] Vaughn also noted that he had hoped to have Firth back in the sequel, though it was later reported that Firth would not be returning.[7][8]

On 29 April 2015, Fox announced that a sequel was in the works, but that it was unclear if Vaughn will return to direct due to his interest in directing a Flash Gordon film.[9] On 11 June 2015, Vaughn told Yahoo that he had begun writing the script for the sequel and that he might be returning to direct.[10] In September 2015, Millar reiterated that the sequel was in development and that Vaughn was looking for ways to bring Firth back without sacrificing the integrity of the story. Later that month, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that Egerton had also signed on for the Robin Hood: Origins franchise, which would begin shooting in February 2016; Egerton’s schedule was accordingly in the conflict with the Kingsman sequel. However, in mid-October, it was confirmed that the scheduling issues had been settled between both studios. Lionsgate plans to begin Robin Hood‘s production right after Egerton wraps filming on Kingsman: The Golden Circle, which was expected to begin production in April 2016.[11]

On 17 February 2016, it was revealed that Julianne Moore was in talks to play the villain role in the film.[12] On 10 March 2016, Halle Berry was cast in the film to play the role of the head of the CIA, and reportedly she was in talks to sign on for two films.[13] Her role later turned out as that of Statesman’s tech support. In late March, Vaughn confirmed Berry’s and Moore’s casting, as well as the title, Kingsman: The Golden Circle. On 8 April 2016, Pedro Pascal was cast in the film as Jack Daniels.[14] On the same day, a promotional poster was released for the film featuring Firth’s character’s glasses, with the line “Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated”, seemingly confirming Firth’s return for the film;[15] Firth’s return was later officially confirmed on 11 July 2016.[16] Channing Tatum confirmed his casting through his Twitter account, while Variety confirmed that Elton John was in talks for a key role.[17] In late April, Vaughn talked about writing the sequel, he stated “writing this was the hardest thing I’ve ever done.”[18] Jeff Bridges was added to the cast on 28 May 2016.[19] Vinnie Jones announced on Twitter that he’s cast in a role.[20]
